the goal of this research is the determining of planting date and providing agricultural calendar for corn in kermanshah province using climatic elements of temperature and rain fall. so, at first, long term  climatic statistics are collected from 2001 to 2011  and then  considered to temperature and rain fall parameters like  absolute maximum and minimum  in region during growth period, planti...

Nitrogen fertilizer is commonly applied to winter wheat in the High Plains to achieve moderate to high yields. Typically, anhydrous N is applied in the summer or early fall with a tillage operation. Some growers apply liquid N in the spring if winter and spring moisture are high to take advantage of higher yielding condition. Phosphate fertilizer is less frequently used on winter wheat than N f...

Russian Wheat Aphid Barley Yellow Dwarf Wheat Streak Mosaic Planting winter wheat as early as possible, particularly under dryland conditions, can increase yields by 10 percent or more, but also increases the risk for several serious pest problems that can cause major yield losses. Early planting can create a situation called a green bridge where pests and disease move from maturing cereals or ...

in order to evaluate the effects of different planting dates and biological fertilizers on yield, yield components and essential oil content in cumin (cuminum cyminum) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) intercropping, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of ferdowsi university of m...

chickpea fall planting may increase seed yield in comparison with spring planting due to the increased duration of growing period and increased water use efficiency. the most important problem with fall planting is the danger of occurrence of plant death and decreased seed yield quantitatively and qualitatively due to the cold stress. the major strategy in breeding program is development of gen...

Delserone, L. M., and Cole, H., Jr. 1987. Effects of planting date on development of net blotch epidemics in winter barley in Pennsylvania. Plant Disease 71: 438-441. The influence of planting date on fall and spring net blotch epidemics (caused by Pyrenophora teres) was evaluated with the winter barley cultivar Pennrad. Experiments were conducted in Centre County, Pennsylvania, in 1982 and 198...

in order to study the effects of fall planting dates on yield and yield components of six cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) ecotypes an experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design as a split-plot with three replications during 2007-08 growing season at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. three planting dates (18 oct. (first), 8 nov. (second) and 29 de...

Two new transgenic Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] lines were tested under field conditions for their ability to accumulate selenium (Se)from Se- and boron-contaminated saline sediment. The transgenic lines overexpress genes encoding the enzymes selenocysteine lyase (cpSL) and selenocysteine methyltransferase (SMT), respectively. In the first Spring planting, cpSL, SMT, and wildtyp...

Eggs of Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 were encapsulated in calcium alginate for use as inoculum to infest peanut field plots. Some eggs within the capsules remained viable up to 10 weeks after preparation. A field site was successfully infested at peanut planting and (or) 6 weeks later. Dual applications of nematode inoculum (at planting and 6 weeks later) were superior to single applications (at...

Most afforestation hardwood plantations in the Central Hardwood Forest Region, USA, are established with bareroot seedlings planted in late winter or early spring. This brief planting season is preferred for several logistical and physiological reasons, yet interest in fall planting has increased as a means to extend the planting season. We evaluated effects of a wide range of planting dates on...
